Mickey Newbury - Yesterday's Gone lyrics

Yesterdays gone like the ocean Taken by the tide Like the night in the morning Like a bird when she flies Yesterdays gone and its only now A place where today used to be Lost in the space of forever an eternity But tomorrow the sun will be bornin' In the twinkling of an eye Father and mother of morning Hope of todays gone by The beginning of all that has happened Yet the ending of all thats to be Just a rhyme in the line of the song Only time can sing Ah but I've read the book Long before I had learned how to read Between the lines I saw only what I could see through my eyes Not my mind God it takes a long time
